I will get to what happened in a few minutes but tell ya's what else I've been up to since Cork. The new hosts that I was staying with in Limerick all decided one day to take me on a tour of County Clair which was real nice of them, they all took a day of work and two car loads latter we were heading for the Cliffs of Moher about one hour drive towards the west coast. Luckily it was a sunny day fo... Read Full Entry

An Aussie trying to travel as much of the world as possible.. Love to see and experience new things, silly things, food things, anything! I'm a budget traveller who prefers to visit the locals rather than the local attractions. Travel for me is about experiencing new cultures and accepting people for who they are. We wish to help people to travel the world as it is an amazing place with so much to see and do, travelling is easy once you make the decision to go. The hardest part for most making the decision to book that ticket but that is the beginning for life changing and rewarding experi... full info

Whew! What a bummer!
Hi Chris what an awful experience for you. Guess there is no need to say never leave your passport anywhere but on you! Number one rule with travelling. The most innocent places (like Tasmania) can be the worst for theft etc. The scary places are probably safer! But I wouldn't like to test that theory! Take care, love hearing from you so keep up the great work!

you knob!
Slug, You knob!! When i said get into mischef, coz it's more fun... I DIDN'T MEAN GO LOSE YOUR SHIT!!!!! .. That mist of been totallt shithouse! Anyway atleast those arseholes give you back your passport! We got beaten by the parrotts, but there were some really pleasing signs to come out of the game. It was probably just our inexperiance at times that lost us the game! Late in the last quarter Morals nearly got his head kicked of by the germ that i was playing on and it was the most blatent "kicking in danger" ever!! But the umpire called a ball up, so i proceeded to question his ability as an umpire with a few choice words and gave a free kick away. it was the only goal that squibb kicked on me all day, so i was pretty pissed off with myself afterwards.. Anyway we should go well this year.. Stay in mischef, BUT DON'T LOSE YOUR SHIT AGAIN!!! Cabes...

Hi Slug!
Have been looking through the comments and noticed that Brett has not written anything yet! (He probrably hasn't worked out how to do it). Bummer about all your stuff, I know what it was like when I lost my wallet and passport in Thailand, more of a hassle than anything else.. plus I was supposed to be flying out the next day. Has been great getting your travel blogs, I loved the ones when you were in Egypt, can't wait to get over there but will have to work on convincing Brett...(and saving money) We don't have too much to report from Melbourne.. I decided to support the Kangaroos on the weekend and opened a sportsbet account..(I thought I might become more interested in it if i had $5 on a team).. They lost again... will have to start listening to Dermie's tipping advice in the morning to get the sportsbet account back up. Anyway, take care.. I better get back to work. Love Carly and Brett

So much for thinking that your Mum can relax now that you are in an english speaking country. I am glad you got your passport back and that you are ok. With Football starting your Mum will have other things to worry about, so her stress level about all of this could be a little less (whiskey may help too). Take care and keep your belongings really reaaly close.
